I can understand you hating the Chinese Communist govt....but what did the regular Chinese citizen do to you?

As atrocious as the videos are Pammie...as a parent you have to agree it would be terrible to know your child was buried under rubble. To say those kids deserve that is beyond my realm of thinking.

I would not discuss if all Chinese people who work in killing dogs and cats, work that way...because I don't know.

There're workers who work in slaughter houses in "Western" societies that abuse the animals (cows, chickens, geese etc.) unfortunately....and have been captured on film. Do you wish bad fortune on all the citizens of those countries?

So I guess if a catastrophe hits Canada...the citizens deserve it because their govt allow hunting of cute baby seals.

And awhile ago I saw on the news....a scandinavin country....I believe it was Switzerland...that kills, eats and use the fur of cats. And it is still going on... You would hate all Swiss people.

There have been cases all over the world....Canada, U.S.A., France etc....world leaders...where a citizen/farmer/breeder badly abused their stock/pets/animals. Animals are left fo freeze to death, live in their own feces, eat their dead or die of thirst... while the owners are on vacation....or they were bankrupt...and just left the animals to die. Do you hate all the people of those countries?

Should Indians from India hate all people that eat beef....since a bull is considered god-like to them?

the chinese eat dog and cat. they believe the animal must suffer for the meat to taste good.

you have an answer for that?

I'm Chinese Canadian and I know of some Chinese in Hong Kong, China and neigbouring countries that have eaten dogs and cats....nothing revolting to them. If a person is starving he/she will eat all sorts of things...i.e dogs, cats, rats, snakes, bugs, lavae, pig intestines and chicken claws etc....btw the last two are delicacies and are served in "Western" Chinese restaurants.

As for making the animals suffer before killing them....that I really never heard of.....I've eaten rabbits, doves and turtles (All bought legally at farms) that my father killed and quartered....and I've never seen him abuse the animals before killing them...and he's "Old school" Chinese.....

Some of my cousins (In their 30's...so I would consider them the "New" generation) have killed rabbits, chickens and quail for supper....and they've never abused the animals before slaughtering them.

I'm surprised too. While I don't agree with some practices of other cultures...I don't pretend to understand them either. Either way, I don't feel they deserved what they got.

I guess since we're throwing wild generalities about that it's fair for me to say that all Californians are whacko, weirdo lefties that have no reasoning ability to question that maybe 2 youtube videos does not a people make?

Just checking.

fool - I've been wondering the same thing. How did this thread go from, "I'm glad my daughter isn't in Xian anymore," to "I can understand you hating the Chinese.....?"

Wow. Just wow. No one deserves to die this way regardless of the ways of their culture or the ways of their government.

???? She never gave any evidence of understanding it to begin with. There should be zero surprise here.

How can ya not love the Chinese? Moo goo gi pan. General Tso chicken. I love it all! The Chinese are one of the most industrious nation on earth and that's saying a lot because a lot of the country is behind the times. I don't like it when people say China is bad and don't buy China. I have come to find that everyone around the world is basically the same. We all love and hate, laugh and cry. And we all love and laugh at a good fart, right?

All of this might explain why she hasn't posted here either. She may have been given a vacation based on comments from the folks that saw what she said, which I did not.

General Tso's Chicken was invented in New York City, as were a number of other supposedly Chinese dishes. I believe it incorporates Chinese cooking techniques.

Chinese Checkers---don't forget that game. We all love that one. Sure it may contain lead, but it's still fun to play.

We had a 3.5 at about 2 AM that woke us up. There was actually a 3.0 around 10 minutes earlier, too - I'm pretty sure it was the bigger one that we felt. Coincidentally, I've been doing some planning to do some reinforcing under our house....

A sterling idea, Bowlder.

Looks to me like they have temblors about once a day in the Fairbanks area, but most are magnitude 2 or lower. Still, I might get a rockin and rollin when I head up that way in September.

Fairbanks? Just heading up there for some R&R or are you moving up there? Yeah, Alaska's pretty active in a seismic kind of way, I understand....
